little bit of a chill in the air. let's talk about that with meteorologist christina loren. she has a look at the forecast and what to expect. good morning. >> hey, good morning to you. yeah, the past three mornings we've been very close to that freezing mark in just about all of our interior valleys, starting with the reason why here in san jose. mostly clear conditions. getting a beautiful start to the day. you see that crescent moon. 6:01 now, the sun rises at about 6:37. 39 degrees in monterey, 40 in sacramento. so conditions across the state are cold paubecause it's clear everywhere now. expecting a little frost to form in fairfield, santa rosa, napa, novato. temperatures fall to about 36 degrees and you get that frost. bring in the sensitive plants as we are getting to the coldest part of the day. good-looking afternoon, though, highs in the mid-60s. tomorrow we get a few showers early and then we hit the 70s midweek. more rain on the way friday into the weekend. we'll time it out and show you how it looks on your seven-day.

it's 6:02. we're learning more about what sparked the fbi investigation that ultimately led general david petraeus to resign his post as cia director. officials say he was never under investigation. marla tellez joins us in our studio with what they have learned overnight. >> reporter: the fbi's investigation began with a woman who worked for the state department and overnight she has been identified as jill kelly. kelly, who was a personal close friend of general david petraeus, said she was receiving anonymous, harassing e-mails from someone. well, that someone turned out to be paula broadwell, petraeus' mistress. the nature of those e-mails has not been disclosed. it was during this investigation that fbi agents discovered e-mails between broadwell and petraeus they say were indicative of an extramarital affair, which led to general petraeus' resignation on friday. senator dianne feinstein, who heads up the senate select committee on intelligence says the news hit her like a

lightning bolt. >> broadwell sent these threatening e-mails to her and she was frightened and she went to the fbi. oh, i can't believe it, but that's what it is. >> reporter: many top lawmakers, including feinstein, question the timing of all this. one congressman says he learned of the affair a couple weeks ago, long before president obama got word just last thursday. also worth noting here, petraeus was scheduled to testify this coming thursday before congress about what led to the deadly attack at the u.s. consulate in benghazi that killed 4 americans. what we know this morning is he will not be doing that now, but he still could testify at a later date as a civilian. jon. >> we know the story is far from over. thank you very much. meantime president obama planning to meet with labor and business leaders this week as congressional leaders work on a solution to try to avoid that looming fiscal cliff. the white house says the

president will hold meetings with labor representatives tomorrow. he'll meet with the business community wednesday and then have his first meeting with congressional leaders friday. economists warning if congress cannot reach a solution to avoid that automatic tax increase and spending cuts, those will take effect in january 1st -- actually on january 1st and it could plunge the country right into another recession. we will have much more ahead on that fiscal cliff throughout the morning, including a live report from capitol hill. that will be coming up at 6:30. oakland homeowners have new ways to help keep their roofs above their head. a mortgage clinic will be held at the oakland marriott convention center. it starts this morning at 10:00 and admission is free. several big banks, including wells fargo and citibank, will be there to talk about loan modifications and other financial options. there will also be housing counselors on hand to help residents submit applications for home loans. the event is part of an oakland program to help people who are facing foreclosure. new this morning, sirens,

smoke and flames were a serious wakeup call at a home in redwood city overnight. firefighters were called out there to the one-alarm miles an hour on held vin henry court this morning. that took place about 1:30. just a few blocks away from the men low golf course. so far no injuries have been reported and the cause is still under investigation. family and friends of a 19-year-old hayward man found dead say they want justice and answers from police. bob redell joins us live with more on a homicide investigation. family members say police are not treating as a priority. good morning, bob. >> reporter: good morning to you, laura. the family tells us they are frustrated with hayward police. they do not believe officers are giving their son's murder the priority they believe it deserves. no police response yet to that accusation. officers found the body of the 19-year-old man last tuesday night inside this abandoned automotive shop on mission boulevard where last night about 150 people, including the

parents and grandmother, lit candles in honor of the young man. he was last seen on october 21st at his home in hayward. his father reported him missing november 1st, quite a time after his last sight. his family spent the next several days searching for him. >> we parked so many times over here and we didn't even think that he was over here. it was so hard for us. >> reporter: police are treating this as a homicide. no arrests, no suspects identified so far. the family tells us they can't imagine who would want to kill ernesto. they say he was very generous and a man who dreamt of some day becoming a chef. reporting live here in hayward, bob redell, "today in the bay." it is 6:06. this morning the faa still trying to figure out why a southwest plane from oakland slid right off the runway in denver. we have pictures that a passenger posted to twitter. that plane ended up sliding

right off a taxiway as it was heading for a gate saturday evening. this morning investigators say the pavement was wet but it wasn't icy and snow wasn't sticking to the ground when the plane arrived. remarkably, we're happy to report nobody was injured. >> i always get nervous when flying into denver. >> those surfaces and cold temperatures make it a little dicey. pretty cold outside as well. we want to check the current conditions with meteorologist christina loren. >> not as cold as the mile high city but still with temperatures very close to the freezing mark. target with live beautiful shot, sunrise over the bay bridge this morning. glassy out on the bay with very light winds. part of the reason we have frost forming in parts of the bay area. this is san jose, just as clear as we're getting bayside and at the coast this morning, so temperatures are koeltd. grab that jacket. we're at 37 in novato, 38 in santa rosa and petaluma very close to that freezing mark at 34 degrees. 41 in san jose and 38 degrees in livermore as we get into the

starts on 101. we'll give you a better look coming up. if you happen to live in san bruno, caltrain construction could soon get in the way of your commute. tonight through sunday crews will work on elevating caltrain tracks from 11:00 at night until 7:00 in the morning. this project will be making way for three pedestrian underpasses. one at sylvan avenue, another between euclid and walnut and another one at the new caltrain station being built. caltrain services will not be disrupted due to this construction. coming up, a deadly fireball. the search for the cause of a massive explosion that levels an entire neighborhood in indianapolis just ahead. and a very deadly ingredient. we'll tell you why the lunch menu at the california nursing home is being blamed for two deaths and four illnesses just ahead. wall street at work today, even though it's veterans day

observed. we'll take a look at the markets coming up in just minutes.

welcome back, everyone. good monday morning to you. 6:12 of the investigators still trying to determine what caused a blast that killed two people and left whole blocks uninhabitable in indianapolis. the explosion happened late saturday night and was felt as far away as three miles. at least seven people were hurt. take a look at the destruction there. two homes leveled and as many as 80 homes affected with 30 suffering major damage. detectives, arson investigators, federal atf agents still on the scene searching for clues as to what happened. >> each one of the houses, just make a ring and move outward. >> so far investigators have not ruled out any possible causes for that explosion. two nursing home residents are dead this morning and four

other people are in the hospital after eating poisonous mushrooms. these mushrooms were in a soup served at the gold age villa assisted living facility near sacramento. the woman who made that soup is a caregiver there. she's also one of the four people right now sick in the hospital. investigators say she had no idea the wild mushrooms growing on that property were actually poisonous, but some 98 poneighb there cut down the mushrooms as a precaution. >> you get these button mushrooms, little round mushrooms or the great bigged to stools that are real big. you can't eat those, those are poisonous. we cut them down because the da dogs get them and they can get sick. >> the department of public health has warned against eating wild mushrooms for years. unfortunately every year hundreds of people get sick or die from mushrooms they have picked themselves. congress expected to ask some tough questions of former

cia director david petraeus in the aftermath of his resignation. the investigation actually began when officials started looking into harassing e-mails sent to a friend of the general by his mistress, paula broadwell. the friend, jill kelly, has issued a statement asking for privacy. british researchers right now calling for a lawsuit against the makers of tamiflu. they are asking the drug maker, roche, to release awful its data on tamiflu claiming there is no evidence the drug can actually stop the flu. and just in, google is in the hot seat today in the u.k. for the taxes it seemingly does not pay overseas. u.k. lawmakers want to know how google, amazon and starbucks have managed to pay only a fraction of the taxes they owe in britain while racking up millions of dollars worth of sales. also new this morning, a growing crisis stemming from a child abuse scandal continues today at the bbc. bbc director of news helen

broaden and her deputy, steve mitchell, have handed their responsibility over to other people for the time being. the move comes after the bbc's director general resigned sunday with a 450,000 pound payout. its news night program shelved an investigation into child sex allegations against a tv host. adding to the controversy, a separate news night story that wrongly implicated a british politician in a sex abuse program that actually aired in early november. facebook is becoming something of an atm for neighboring cities in the peninsula, including one of the smallest and wealthiest cities in the bay area. the sacramento bee reporting facebook has given the town of atherton $350,000 because of traffic concerns brought on by the new facebook campus in nearby menlo park. atherton's mayor telling the "sacramento bee" the town of 7,000 people is in no rush to

spend that money. in fact it's not sure exactly what the money will be spent on at all. east palo alto got $650,000 from facebook to deal with all the traffic concerns and so far menlo park has gotten $1.1 million with at least $8.5 million more expected to come over the next ten years. steve jobs declared thermonuclear war on any phone running software. >> but a little bit of a cease-fire. >> cease-fire indeed. apple moving away from the jobs era in a lot of ways. perhaps not so visibly as its new agreement with phone maker htc. over the weekend they came to a settlement with the taiwanese maker of android phones. apple accused htc of copying the iphone. under the deal, htc pays appear foal ten years of licensing certain ideas. apple really has its own problems at home, its stock price. a brief blip to the positive on

friday but apple stock has been on steady decline, down more than 20% off its all-time highs. wall street will be hard at work today. some organizations have the day off but not the stock exchanges. in fact if today were veterans day they'd still be open. the exchanges don't close for veterans day. and ikea has been accused of using german prisoners to build some of its furniture. they say they used forced labor during the 1980s back when there was an east germany. the documentary alleges that was fairly common practice for european companies at the time. ikea hired outside auditors to find out whether this accusation is true. it says it's going to release its findings into this later this week. jon and laura. >> interesting. >> some of those things are hard to put together. i'm just saying. it looks great but you've got to hire an expert. anyway, weatherwise, what's happening outside. a little chilly?

>> a little chilly out there this morning. grab that thick coat wherever you're headed. it's cold all across the board and some cities are dropping off toward the freezing mark. gilroy, i'm talking to you, 33 degrees out there right now. 6:18. taking alook from high atop the mountain. 38 in sunnyvale, 42 in san mateo and 37 in concord. as we head throughout the day today, temperatures are going to struggle to climb into the upper 50s by noon but then that cold air will mix out and we'll hit the mid-60s. we've got a really good-looking day shaping up. as we head today through tomorrow there's a storm system lingering just to our north. the tail end will sweep through here, mostly the north bay as we head through 10:00 p.m. tonight through 5:00 a.m. tomorrow morning. nonetheless, high pressure still in control and we're still slated to hit the 70s not just tomorrow, all the way through this upcoming thursday as high pressure really builds in.

this is what we're expecting. a little bit of patchy a.m. fog, mostly sunny conditions in the afternoon and then we'll get another round of rain as we head through friday into saturday. some lingering showers for sunday. so today right on track with our seasonal averages, go figure. 65 in livermore, 63 in concord and 64 degrees in oakland. as we head through your tuesday, the climb is on. up to 70 degrees. 70 degrees even and that's inland. getting very close to that bayside and at the coast. i did want to point out, the sun is now setting at 5:p.m. so you want to get it done early if you can. showers move in thursday into friday, lingering on saturday. let's check your drive. good morning, mike. >> forgood morning. a good drive at the bay bridge toll plaza where just the cash lanes showing some backup. the fastrak lanes are moving nicely. i turned our emeryville camera toward the bay bridge incline and i want to show you traffic is moving smoothly. we were watching for the effect

of the disabled airport van but our speed sensors have started to clear up on the san francisco side. it sounds like they were able to get off of the freeway and that is good news getting into the city. still a little slow up the incline but no metering lights just yet. pretty typical schedule over there. now we're looking at your typical flow westbound 580 being that it's a holiday for many, schools and businesses, we're seeing a lighter volume so a slower build coming in through pleasanton. a good slow through the 680 interchange and slowing heading down into sunol. we'll also look at the south bay with the volume starting to build but we saw the earlier fir first burst. 87 just a tad bit slow into downtown, so typical places, but a lighter volume throughout the south bay. the north bay shows you southbound 101, no problems for speed in novato all the way down through central san rafael and all the way down in fact to the golden gate bridge. obviously this was the game

of american football but paced on the final results it had a similar flavor to a game of european football, also known as soccer. the 49ers tying the st. louis rams in overtime 24-24. now ties happen all the time in soccer, but this marked the nfl's first tie in four years. meantime 49er quarterback alex smith still recovering from a concussion this morning. ouch, that happened during the game. took a blow to the back of his helmet in the second quarter. three plays later he was hit again. he slowly walked to theocker room. it's still unclear whether he'll be ready to play pond night taking on the chicago bears. you've got to be careful any time a concussion is involved. it is 6:21. coming up, a heart warming reunion that's six years and nine lives in the making. we'll tell you how a little bit of magic and a microchip reunited a peninsula family with their long-lost pet just ahead. >> that's his happy face to be home. plus bundle up and grab that

canvassed the neighborhood but never found a sign of magic. six years later a man living a few blocks away found magic and called animal control. they used magic's microchip to reunite him with his owner. isn't that something? >> very, very sweet. happy to be home. he still looks like he's in shock. fighting a freefall off a fiscal cliff in capitol hill but there are some talks. we'll have more just ahead.
